Zgar Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Hey brothers, I am not working on a modular Rhino/Razorback for my Deathwatch team. The model has working side doors with the internal door sections cut off, so you can actually see into the inteior once you open them. The painting is WIP at 50%, with first highlights made, which will be neated up and toned down with ink washes + liturgy text will be painted on the black armour sections. Weathering and armour damage will be added too. So far the models looks like this: Razorback variant: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v650/zgar/Deathwatch/WIP/dw_rhino1_front1.jpg Rhino variant: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v650/zgar/Deathwatch/WIP/dw_rhino1_front2.jpg An idea came to me how to spice up the interior and how to use the plastic Dark Eldar I have laying around since I purchased the WH40k boxed gamed years ago... Model two DE captives with arms chained to the walls siting on the benches! They are WIP's glued together and conversion damage covered with Green Stuff. I will add some more GS to their bonds to make sort of a hi-tech chains attached to the Rhino interior walls. But only after they are painted up and glued into position. The aim of the conversion poses was: - one model wihtout helmet, upriht position full of resistance (DE squad leader) - one model with helmet in resigned position, female (captured trooper...) This enables some cool fluff background - as the DE leader having "an affair" with the female warrior and were captured "in the action", while not paying attention too much to what is happening arround... ;) I am now thinking, what colour scheme would be best to paint them? I would prefer some dark colours (since they are Dark Eldars, right? :angry: ), but still something colourful, so the models are well visible in the interior... Any sugestions and comments are welcome!

ixupi Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 What can I say? I love it. Not exactly my choice in colors, but perfectly done and with style. Only suggestion would be to say that the black makes it look too 'plain' but maybe you were going for that, if so then good job again.

Dawn of the Dogs Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 the =][= is immaculate! :angry: but im not too sure bout the DE prisoners, they should be strung up on the outside where they belong, those seats are reserved for the loyal servants of the Emperor after all ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90199-dw-rhinorazorback-wip-paintingconverting/#findComment-1037636 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazal Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 For the xeno scum, might I sugest either sallie's green or ultra-marine blue. Stays dark, but at the same time it will stll be light enough to stand out. PLus, those colors tend not to be cuper common on DW teams, wil lhelp define them as out of place more. As for what you have there already, outstanding work Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90199-dw-rhinorazorback-wip-paintingconverting/#findComment-1037639 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nurgling Wiggy Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 My my, thats totally awesome. But, would you trust two Dark Eldar to be in the same room as a bolter? ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90199-dw-rhinorazorback-wip-paintingconverting/#findComment-1037649 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zgar Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 Thanks for the feedback sofar guys. Re DE being trasported inside and not shot dead... - 1st - DW are not Orks/Chaos to chain their captives outside + these are captured alive for interrogations - if they were transported on the outside, they might get killed by other DE so they do not give away any secrets - 2nd - as mentioned above, the are going to feel the power of the Inquisiton - the male captive is a high ranked DW leader - it was a mirracle to capture him alive! ;) Hence not shot dead... Re - bolter in the room - yup, kinda dangerous - but what is life without a little risk to spice it up, heh? ;) Re - DE colour scheme -> Azazal - thanks for the idea - Sallie's green sounds good! What secondary colour would go to the green? I won't go for the UM blue, since the DW team is a ally to my regular UM army... - I was also thinkig abt a dark red/bone scheme - something like some GW Tyranids (the 3rd Ed. army) are painted - what do you think? More suggestions are welcome!! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90199-dw-rhinorazorback-wip-paintingconverting/#findComment-1037711 Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Q- Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 You've come a long way over the years! It's coming along nicely so far, Looks great!! The Dark Eldar were a clever addition and very well done.

Deacoknight Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Love the model... looks great! I especially like the ][ and the gemming around the copala. The prisoners are a great touch and very well converted. Can't wait to see the finished project. -D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90199-dw-rhinorazorback-wip-paintingconverting/#findComment-1037864 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vindictus Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 That's AWESOME! The prisoners totally make it.... The painting is great, but the addition of the shackled Dark Eldar is perfect...

Brother Jobu Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 The model is looking good, the only thing that stands out to me, though, is the ammo feeds for the heavy bolters. prehaps you could model an ammo box or magazines for them?

The Angelus Sanctus Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Excellent work as always Zgar, very well done :D The paint job is excellent, particularly the =][= symbol! The extra work on the interior definitely brings out the rhino more (even if it is the interior). Helps give the tank a sense of purpose and a theme. As a lil bit of critique. Im assuming the armored DE is the female. And given they were some what "not paying attention" i would have imagine that she would be less armored? I cant imagine marines, particularly of the Deathwatch variety to patiently wait on their prisoners. Other than look, great work :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90199-dw-rhinorazorback-wip-paintingconverting/#findComment-1037985 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaoswolf Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Very cool. I like the idea, and it sure looks great. Sorta hard to believe that 10 space marines fit into that tiny space, though. :blink: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90199-dw-rhinorazorback-wip-paintingconverting/#findComment-1038105 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slotff Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Kick ass! I only question how you plan to paint them if they are already in the Rhino, and the Rhino is primed and they aren't... unless they are not glued :P :P I'm sure you know what your doing. -_- Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90199-dw-rhinorazorback-wip-paintingconverting/#findComment-1038163 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorgrin Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Great, really like it...you can still add a Guard for them... Or you could file open the observation slit on the front door and glue a head in there to give the impression of someone watching them...

Solamus Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Nicely painted and nice idea with the prisoners for a DW team. Sorta hard to believe that 10 space marines fit into that tiny space, though. :P Ever seen record attempts for the most people in a mini?

The Mk II is positively roomy in comparison....

Zgar Posted June 24, 2006 Author Share Posted June 24, 2006 Hey everybody - thanks for the great feedback and your sugestions!! :D To reply the questions / comments rised: @Azazal - Green/Bone vs. Red/Bone - I will paint up a Green/Bone test model and will see how it turnes out. Thanks for the tip. @Brother Huh - HB Ammo feeds - can't do it man, I did not glue the HB's in place, so I can exchange them for Lascannons if desired. And for that I have to pull them out thru the top cover holes... I kinda like the parts as they are there hanging in the air... @The Angelus Sanctus - "dressed" DE female captive - well let's presume the DE leader has sort of a armour fetish desire... And what do we know abt DE sexual desires in the 41st millenium... ;) @Slotff - don't worry man, they are not glued yet... No problem there. B) P.S. For those who do not remember / have missed the DW team, here is the squad who will be in various variants riding the vehicle... I plan to add 1 more HB marine and more bolter / CCW Deathwatch to make it full 10 man team + a captain as a substitute for the librarian for variety. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v650/zgar/Deathwatch/th_DW_lib1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v650/zgar/Deathwatch/th_dw1.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v650/zgar/Deathwatch/th_dw2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v650/zgar/Deathwatch/th_dw3_2.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v650/zgar/Deathwatch/th_dw4.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v650/zgar/Deathwatch/th_dw5.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v650/zgar/Deathwatch/th_dw6.jpg Cheers! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90199-dw-rhinorazorback-wip-paintingconverting/#findComment-1038573 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angelus Sanctus Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 The Kill Team looks great Zgar B) As for the dressed Female DW Warrior, yeah i came to the conclusion it was an armor fetish and stuff, so its all good :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90199-dw-rhinorazorback-wip-paintingconverting/#findComment-1038575 Share on other sites More sharing options...
